Project Description:

The purpose of this project is to compare the efficacy of two distinct approaches for providing professional development support to child care teachers: remote, video-based coaching and in-classroom coaching. Both approaches seek to increase the quality of child care teachers language and literacy instruction and positive responsiveness to children in order to improve childrens school readiness skills. While support has been found for both coaching approaches, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
